[Public-List] Refridgeration

[mahseer at kos.net]

Gord look at an Engel fridge/freezer as an option, runs on either 12volts or 120volts, my unit draws 2.5amps when running on a 60/40 cycle with one group 27 battery this has lasted for a weekend at anchor.

>> Hello gang -
>> 
>> So we’re back at home after provisioning the boat for tomorrow’s departure…

>> some day.

>> It would be nice to carry fresh meats longer than four days without having
>> to plan to ice up again… on the other hand it’s nice not to have to worry
>> about battery capacity…. on the other hand the reality of cruising on our
>> coast is that it’s really nice to stooge up the inside channels on our
>> Georgian Bay coast, and that usually entails at least a couple of hours of
>> motoring every day, often more.
>> 
>> If I put refrigeration in, and only used it when the engine was running,

>> would make the blocks last forever, effectively refreezing them each day
>> when motoring.  If we didn’t motor, two blocks would last two days…
>> 
>> Anyone else grappled with this?  Before the suggestions come in: sorry, I
>> would never put an array of solar panels on SURPRISE.
